For the 4th episode of the Blackpool NY podcast host, Greg Wachsteter sat down with an old friend of his, Andrea Ludlow.

Andrea turned her childhood trauma into Pee Wee Herman. Yes literally. She has survived a bunch of challenging events, like the death of her best friend, the death of her father, and being diagnosed with breast cancer all of which has never unseated her ability to move forward with her life. Andrea started a School, runs a cookie business, is a dog whisperer, excellent with children, and has the most infectious laugh of anyone I have ever met. She is truly living under the guise of authenticity over acceptance.

That might be the theme of the show for episode #4 … Being true to your own nature regardless of what anyone else thinks… especially yourself. Authenticity over acceptance. And Unconditional Self Love.

Thank you listening! Remember people, drink good coffee, listen to good music, and be kind to the other humans.
